Located in the far northwest of Canada, Yukon has a fabled place in the country’s history. Perhaps most famous for the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s, Yukon today is home to approximately 30,000 people, living mostly in the capital of Whitehorse. Its economy is composed primarily of mining and tourism. The territory is an ideal place to settle for individuals who value strong communities and the great outdoors. Prospective immigrants with the skills and experience targeted by the province may get a provincial nomination through Yukon’s Provincial Nominee Program, officially called the Yukon Nominee Program (YNP).
